A Taste of Sunshine in a Jar If salsa could smile, this one would be grinning ear to ear. Bursting with juicy pineapple, sweet mango, garden-fresh tomatoes, and just the right touch of spice, this recipe balances sweet, tangy, and savory flavors in every bite. The tropical fruit makes it a little unexpected, while smoky spices and lime keep it firmly in salsa territory. It’s a crowd-pleaser with tortilla chips, but don’t stop there — try it spooned over grilled chicken, salmon, pork tenderloin, or even folded into rice bowls for a quick flavor upgrade. Best of all, it’s safe for canning, so you can capture a taste of summer sunshine to brighten up meals all year long.
